Trans Global Projects has relocated its Dubai office to the Port Saeed area of the city.\n\n

Conveniently located, the new base is ideally placed to enable the expansion of operations in this dynamic region, in particular allowing easy access to support the various construction projects in and around the Arabian Gulf.\n\n

Trans Global Projects has secured a fourth party logistics contract to support the development of a mine in Mauritania.\n\n

Comprising road haulage, shipping, customs clearance, port handling and rail carriage ex-works to the site, it is anticipated cargo during the 33-month construction phase will be in excess of 100,000MT (7,300 teu), including heavy mining plant. Equipment will be globally sourced, mostly from India, South Africa and Europe, with other shipments from the Americas and Australia.\n\n

Delivery is to Nouadhibou Port, with contingency plans for Nouakchott, then onwards by rail before being offloaded to trucks for the remainder of the journey, with the final 3km off-road. A rail spur is to be constructed to enable the trucking operation to cease after approximately 20 months. To facilitate movement, Trans Global Projects has already enabled a multi-modal transfer point for rail-road-rail transfers on the route, which includes 600m of rail siding and vehicle offload ramp.\n\n

Throughout the contract, challenges to be considered are congestion at reception ports, a complex customs regime, the length of key logistics routes due to the geographical remoteness of the site, HSE, and asset tracking – in particular container management.\n\n

It is anticipated the logistics will roll on into the operations phase with the delivery of consumables and rotation of heavy mining plant.\n\n

Work is now under way on a total logistics service to support the construction of an iron ore mine.\n\n

Contracted by an international engineering, procurement and construction company in June, Trans Global Projects has now begun shipping the materials to Western Australia on a fast track agreement.\n\n

In excess of 250,000 freight tonnes are to be transported from various worldwide locations including China, Indonesia and Germany, with the largest item – a ship loader – weighing 970 tonnes and 80 x 20 x 40 metres in size. Further items to be shipped include five stackers, two reclaimers, three tertiary crushers, a car dumper and a range of other mechanical and electrical equipment. Much of this is out of gauge and therefore requires heavy lift ships and specialist modular trailers to be transported safely.\n\n

Materials are all being individually shipped from their country of origin to either Port Hedland or Fremantle. Upon arrival in Australia the cargo completes its journey inland along several hundred kilometres of narrow, sealed-surface roads. These are prone to flooding during the cyclone season, meaning careful planning is required to ensure no time is lost.\n\n

Trans Global Projects is pleased to announce the launch of its new website.\n\n

Designed to be more responsive to client needs, the site outlines Trans Global Projects’ six core activities of project logistics management, supply chain management, passenger aviation, ship chartering, procurement and logistics consultancy, as well as offering a range of case studies to emphasise the myriad of ways these services can be utilised for the benefit of each individual scheme.\n\n

Accessible on a range of devices, the improved website aims to be more responsive to client expectations while emphasising the high quality, professional standards upheld during all projects, no matter how remote the location or difficult the logistical challenge.\n\n

Trans Global Projects has served clients from the world’s oil and gas, metal and mining, power generation and petrochemical industries for more than 26 years, gaining an international reputation for providing highly efficient, worldwide project logistics through a global network of local offices.\n","friendly_url":"website-opens-up-international-logistics-services-for-clients","live":"1","availableFrom":"1408057200","availableUntil":null,"availableFromFormatted":"15th August 2014","authorName":null,"authorEmail":"JLysakowska@tglobal.com","images":[{"attachedTo":"57","attachedToType":"news","id":"1344","originalFilename":"P1150669_smaller.jpg","filename":"image_1416216617_5469c0294df90.jpg","filesize":"263","assetType":"image","extension":".jpg","title":"P1150669_smaller.jpg","assetAttachTitle":"P1150669_smaller.jpg","description":"","assetAttachDesc":"","displayOrder":"0","ownerID":"6","uploadedBy":"joanna","uploaderEmail":"JLysakowska@tglobal.com","attacherID":"6","attachedBy":"joanna","attacherEmail":"JLysakowska@tglobal.com","assetTimestamp":"1416216618","attachmentTimestamp":"1416216865","attachedDateFormatted":"17\/11\/2014 09:34:25","parentID":"1343","width":"1920","height":"1024","dimensionSet":"background","cropX":"0","cropY":"250","cropWidth":"2296","cropHeight":"1225","thumbnailWidth":"250","thumbnailHeight":"188"}]},{"id":"58","headline":"Heavy lifts under way for power plant development","blurb":"Newsroom","content":"

Trans Global Projects’ German office has begun a series of heavy lift movements from Finland and Italy to Russia.\n\n

Supporting the development of a power station by a major European engineering company, the cargo is a range of power plant components including six engines at 14.5m x 4.1m x 6.05m and weighing 300 tonnes each; six generators at 4.6m x 4.1m x 4.35m weighing 72 tonnes each; about 2,800 FRT accessories and more than 200 containers.\n\n

The engines are being shipped as one lot. Upon arrival in Russia they will be transhipped by floating crane to barge for river travel, before continuing the journey inland by road, to be settled onto their foundation by gantry system. The remaining cargo will require two further shipments.\n\n

As part of their logistics requirement Trans Global Projects will be chartering vessels, preparing a roll-off jetty and arranging all permits for port handling, heavy lift ro-ro barging and road transport.\n\n

All items are on track to be delivered before the end of September 2014.\n\n

A complete diving saturation system worth €12 million has been successfully delivered on schedule.\n\n

The demobilised unit was transported from its Caspian Sea operations base at Baku, Azerbaijan, to Jebel Ali, UAE, for a leading construction company in the offshore oil and gas sector. Comprising some 38 individual items totalling 2,500 cubic metres, the cargo included a number of sensitive pieces and heavy, over-dimensional units – the heaviest and largest being 200 tonnes and measuring 15m x 10m x 7m.\n\n

Timing was critical as the success of the movement relied on the seasonal opening of the Volga-Don Canal.\n\n

In the first week of April the river vessel was loaded at Baku, enabling the cargo to make good time through the inland waterways and Black Sea to Derince in Turkey. Prior to arrival here, Trans Global Projects undertook detailed engineering work to prepare storage areas and quay loading for heavy shore cranage. This enabled swift transhipment to the deep sea vessel in which the cargo would complete its journey to UAE.\n\n

Cooperation with the client regarding seafastening design made a great contribution to the effective transhipment operation and ultimate success of the ensuing voyage, with the vessel arriving in Jebel Ali on the 53rd day of operation. In the early stages of planning, overall transit had been scheduled to take 53-55 days.\n\n

This close working, coupled with teamwork between Trans Global Projects’ offices in Baku, Dubai and the UK, ensured all equipment was delivered in good order, with the client offering post-delivery congratulations for a very professional operation.\n\n
